U.C. 0096—
Argent Keil, an unofficial mercenary organization unaffiliated with either the Federation or Zeon, is tasked with assassinating Azami Meggineh, a high-ranking Federation official. The Federation Forces, unable to publicly expose Azami's collusion with Zeon, covertly commissions the mercenaries for the mission. However, just before Argent Keil's fleet sets out, they are ambushed by a Jegan unit from the very Federation Forces that hired them. In the midst of this chaos, Argent Keil launches a secret weapon: a silver Gundam, shrouded in mystery, into the depths of space.
